Mel, that makes me a whole lot better about the criticism I got about my painting style many years ago.

Are you missing a "FEEL" in there? Like " That makes me feel a whole lot better...."I am a senior this year and have to start thinking about that stuff now. I want to become a videographer but we'll see. You never know what can happen in one year. I also play the harp so that's always a option.

Re: What will you do after graduation?

lol draco that would be fun I do play guitar so it's possible. I'm taking a Consumer Science class this year (I'm in 7th grade) all about career choices. I'm not sure what I'd like to do. There is so many possibilities. I reall enjoy politics so maybe a politician.....I'll have to think.

High fives, class of '07!

Going to UConn for physics right now. Fun stuff, but who knows what I'll do with it. It looks like the options are basically teaching or grad school, but I guess I've got time to decide that. Unless the LHC sucks us all into a black hole, in which case I don;t have to make a decision at all!

Re: What will you do after graduation?

I'm at the Military College of Vermont right now, Criminal Justice major. I was planning on taking an NROTC scholarship (Marine Corps ROTC, ooh-rah!) and commissioning after, but I've been thinking that being an officer isn't for me. The other option is to enlist in the reserves while I'm at the MCV, and try to switch to active duty following graduation. Still haven't decided.

You know, that OSC (Offier Canidate School) is somthing you could do if you ever want to be an officer, or you could earn a Battle Field Commision, which basicly means you go form NCO to Officer......

Re: What will you do after graduation?

More than that I just don't think I'm cut out to be an officer. Too much thinking, planning, coordinating, just not enough fighting. I'm leaning towards enlisting in the Marine Reserves while I'm here and switching to active duty as soon as I graduate.

Re: What will you do after graduation?

No you don't. Not sure about other academies like Westpoint or Annapolis, but I'll tell you how the MCV works.

There are two ways to apply: The Corps of Cadets, the military part of the college (this makes up the majority of the students, as it is a traditionally military school), and the regular civilian lifestyle (trust me, no one wants to be a civilian with all these uniformed men going around making them feel inadequate).

So let's say you join the Corps, the military track. You choose an ROTC: Army, Navy (including Coast Guard and Marine Corps options), and Air Force. In those ROTCs you get military training through all four years, and when you graduate you are offered a commission as an officer in that branch of the military. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT IT. A lot of people just go the military course to better themselves physically and mentally, and at the end tip their hat to the military and go be an architect, or a scientist, or an engineer. Despite being in a very rigid and military environment, you are not obligated to actually join the military afterwards.

Probably a longer response than you were looking for, but did I answer your question alright?

Re: What will you do after graduation?

Yeah, that answers it perfectly, thanks! That's definatilly something I'll consider when I aply for a college. I just hope they don't make me cut my hair. Then I might aswell join the Army, because someone's going to die.

Re: What will you do after graduation?

MADE IT.

As some of you know, I have been studying Graphic Arts for a few years, and I've been so sure for so long that I'd never make it. But here I am. I graduated. And I exhibited too! And I am now a fully-fledged Graphic Designer, about to hit the world out there.

I am happy. In fact, it's beyond that, after all the hard work and pain, I'm on a high from the pleasure of accomplishment. I am done, and it feels great and satisfying.

THANKSto all of my friends here for boosting me through it with a lot of kindness and tons of positive energy sent my way,

AND A SPECIAL THANK YOU to those who managed to bear with me and help me the best they could in the tougher times. You know who you are.

To everyone caring enough to read this, a big heartful thanks to you, too, with a big hug.

Love you all, wish me luck,Terra xx

P.S. : Not gone, just closing a chapter of my life, and starting out another.

I will be using a new nickname on this forum from now on, as a symbol of what I have accomplished and the new cycle I'm about to start. My new name is going to be "Cin Vhetin", which is "A New Start" in Mando'a. I thought that was particularly well fitting for what I wanted.

Talk to you soon as the new me!

Cast iron and treadmills? Oh yes. Still sculpting me to what I really want to be, and I love it. :)
